David Ives' Words Words Words is the sixth act of All in the Timing, a short one act paradoxical comedy. It is a bizarre look into the lives of three monkeys who are chosen for an experiment with the following premise; if three monkeys are hitting keys at random on typewriters for an infinite amount of time, they will almost surely produce Hamlet.

Set in a surreal urban intellectual laboratory and drawing visual inspiration from urban artists like Banksy and Joseph Cornell, Leopold's set was a huge cage constructed in the theatre, around which the audience sat.
